Discussion- What is one great “Parenting Strategy” that you feel really helps kids grow healthy in life and faith?
Prayer Direction- If you are a parent, ask God to help you pass the baton of faith to your children. If you do not have children, pray for God to help you be a spiritual parent.
“Live It!” Challenge- If God has used your father or mother to bless and encourage you in your faith, call them or write a note to thank them. If they have passed away, take some time to thank God for what their life meant to you.
February Prayer Focus: Begin using the A-Z format of prayer as you reflect on various attributes and characteristics of God. Linger on the A’s- Almighty, Awesome, Amazing… and then move to the B’s- Beautiful, Bountiful…and move through the alphabet. With each attribute that comes to heart, express your thanks and praise to God!
January-March: Continue developing the discipline of fasting. If you want to go deeper in this, consider reading John Piper’s book, Hunger for God.
